Couldn't wait to fit some bikes in the rack. The racks appear well made, and here are my little discoveries...
- The last bike hangs out by about 1 metre, handy for touch parking unless your bike is the most rearward.
- On an out back model with level ground you would need to be about 6'4" to reach and mount and unmount the bikes
- The load limit for the rack is 60 kg, which is three poor quality bikes, or four very dear light ones.
- Dirty Mountain bikes look better on an outback model......
- The constraint of fitting four bikes is axle width. This is a neat fit and achievable but they touch at this point.
- Loosen handlebar nuts and turn 90 degrees to alleviate other clashes between seat poles and brake levers etc
- Allow about 10 minutes for whole process.
- Considering adding a strut from bumper to rack to take some of the force of the back wall of caravan; just looks like a lot of weight hanging off it!
